must eat, and that, too, quickly. The aver
age American always eats as though he was
in a hurry to catch train; and the DISPOSE
ton to swallow food as though it was some
disagreeable duty to be performed in the
least time possible has grown to be a ma
tional characteristic. 1t is only the small
minority that seem to understand the phi
losophy, OF the amount of enjoyment to be
derived from satisfying an appe-
lite in leisurely, genteel manner.

but the restaurant dinner seems to know no
law but that of haste, and no conscience
which regards the rights of the stomach or
the laws of digestion. a glance at the az

places, or rather machines. is sufficient to
understand how true this is for the restaur-
ants and what their patrons make them.
Stools are placed close to the counter at
regular intervals, which will just admit of
comfortable elbow room. On the walls are
placardS which state in large, plain type
what there is to be eaten, and the price.
Within easy reach is salt, pepper and vine
gar, the former in bottles with perforated
tops and the latter in bottle provided with
nozzle so you can distribute the liquid by
squirting it, thereby saving the time and
trouble OF removing stopper and pouring
it out. On the shelves are platters of cold
meats already sliced, sandwiches ready
made, pie cut and on plates. The waiter
with one motion sets down before you a
glass of water, knife, fork, spoon, pat of
butter plate of bread and perhaps a nap
kin. While he does this he asks whats

LATENT HEAT.

All bodies contain heat. There is heat in wood,
there is in ice but is latent and that Means Ito be
hid. Sir Humphrey Davis succeeded in melting two
pieces Of ice in with temperature below
freezing by simply rubbing them together. There is
heat in cold iron and when the blacksmith pounds it
smartly with his hammer he releases the latent heat
and if he pounds hard and rapidly enough he can
make the iron red hot and all he does is to condense
the particles of the metal and squeeze the heat

animal heat like good thick, heavy warm suit. We

HOW 1t Is DONE.

The lady is seated on chair which is
prepared with wires and springs for the pur-
pose. While the man is adjusting the cloth
over her head she touches a spring in the
back of the chair which raises wire frame
to level with her head and projects two
wires from the seat of the chair out even
with the knees. These wire supports hold
the cloth in place, giving the appearance of
the lady still resting in the chair. The
newspaper which has been laid beneath the
chair has trap concealed within its folds
The rug which lies Oil the floor is similarly
provided. The lady touches another spring
in the chair which turns the
bottom up and slides her down
through the trap. Her feet touch
the top of ladder which has been placed
underneath and is being held by two strong
men, and she steps down into the room
underneath the stage and quickly runs
around to the stairway and up to the stage
again, making her appearance at the side
entrance just after the Snowman has re-
moved the cloth from the chair. 1t re-
Quires a good deal of nerve on the part of
the lady who performs the trick. as the de-
scent from the stage on the ladder is some
times a perilous undertaking. 1t requires
acrobatic skill and good balancing to get
down quickly, as if there is the least I'M
steadiness in holding the ladder she is liable
to be thrown off.

The HanlOns were the first to introduce

vanishing lady. 1t had been practiced in
Paris last season, where it produced a de-
cided sensation. William Hanlon purchased
the right to produce it in this country and
reserved it until the opening of the present
season. When it was first produced in New
York it produced quite a sensation, but it
didn't take the American showmen long to
catch on to it. and in less than two months
after Hanlon first presented it tile trick
was being performed in all the dime mu-
seums and side shows. The lady is seated
